Pregnant woman advised to get H1N1 vaccine

Pregnant women are usually advised not to take medication during pregnancy, but some Vermont doctors say the H1N1 vaccine is an exception. Nursing and expectant mothers met with doctors yesterday to discuss how they can protect themselves and their babies against the H1N1 virus.
Complications of the virus can include early labor or miscarriage, and that has the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommending that pregnant women get vaccinated.
